RECTANGULAR FRYER
Rectangular Batch Fryer Machine Manufacturer in India – SS Engineering Works
SS Engineering Works is a rectangular batch fryer machine manufacturer in India, operating from our Greater Noida factory since 2011. We supply rectangular batch fryer machines to namkeen producers, fryums manufacturers, kurkure lines, and food processing plants across India. Capacity runs from 50 kg/hr for smaller operations to 500 kg/hr for high-volume snack production lines. Our clients include Haldiram, Bikaji, Bikano, and Patanjali.
The rectangular batch fryer is the most widely used fryer configuration in Indian snack manufacturing. The flat rectangular oil chamber holds more oil than a circular body at the same capacity. More oil means better heat stability. Better heat stability means consistent product colour from piece one to the last piece in the batch. Call +91 98184 89414 and tell us your daily output target.

What Our Rectangular Batch Fryer Machine Includes
Every rectangular batch fryer machine from SS Engineering Works ships production-ready. No assembly at your factory. Each unit includes the following as standard:
- SS304 rectangular fryer body -flat oil chamber with full side-access for daily cleaning
- Heating system -LPG, diesel, wood pellet, or thermic fluid with indirect heat exchanger
- Digital thermostat and temperature controller -stable frying heat from batch to batch
- Manual or semi-automatic loading basket -based on required capacity
- Built-in oil filter system -continuously removes starch fines so oil stays clean all shift
- De-oiling conveyor with VFD-controlled belt speed
- Flavour drum with slurry delivery -even salt and masala coating on every piece
- PLC control panel with operator HMI -on fully automatic variants
The side-access layout is a production feature, not cosmetic. At shift end the rectangular body opens from both sides. A circular fryer requires the operator to reach over and around the body -with 8 to 10 hours of production on it, that takes time and corners get skipped. The rectangular fryer cleans flat, fast, and fully. When you are running three products in one day and oil hygiene directly affects the next batch’s colour, that difference adds up.
Why Higher Oil Volume Matters
Most colour consistency problems in batch frying start with unstable oil temperature. This is what causes them:
A rectangular oil chamber holds more oil than a circular body at the same capacity output. More oil means more thermal mass. More thermal mass means the oil temperature drops less when you load a cold batch. Less drop means the product fries in stable heat from start to finish. The first piece and the last piece come out the same colour.
A fryer with lower oil volume runs in temperature cycles -hot to cool and back -as batches load and drain. That swing is where mixed light and dark pieces in the same batch come from. Once that happens in a shift, there is no fix after the fact. Namkeen producers running sev, bhujia, and boondi on back-to-back batches almost always end up on a rectangular fryer for exactly this reason.
Rectangular Fryer vs Circular Fryer -Which One Do You Need?
Most buyers ask this before placing their first order. Here is a direct comparison:
| Factor | Rectangular Fryer | Circular Fryer |
|---|---|---|
| Oil volume | Higher -better thermal stability | Lower -faster heat recovery |
| Best products | Sev, boondi, bhujia, namkeen, fryums, papad | Corn rings, chakli, circular fryums, ring-shaped snacks |
| Colour consistency | Even across flat and irregular shapes | Even on round and ring-shaped products |
| Cleaning | Side-access -fast daily clean from both sides | Overhead access -more time at shift end |
| Floor space | Slightly longer footprint | More compact |
| Capacity range | 50 to 500 kg/hr | 50 to 250 kg/hr |
The simple rule: flat, irregular, or mixed shapes -sev, namkeen, bhujia, fryums -use the rectangular batch fryer. Round or ring-shaped snacks -corn rings, chakli, circular fryums -use the circular fryer. If you fry both types across the day, call us and we will tell you how to set up the line.
Capacity Options
We manufacture rectangular batch fryer machines in four standard output capacities:
| Capacity | Best For |
|---|---|
| 50 kg/hr | Smaller namkeen and snack units -first fryer, compact floor space |
| 100 kg/hr | Regional brands running one or two products per shift |
| 250 kg/hr | Manufacturers running full production shifts with multiple product types |
| 500 kg/hr | High-volume snack lines supplying distributors and retail chains |
Most buyers who visit the factory start at 50 or 100 kg/hr. The 500 kg/hr is for operations with consistent daily order volumes running back to back. Every fryer in this range is built so adding a second unit beside the first takes one day -not a full factory reconfiguration. Call +91 98184 89414 with your daily output number and we will size it correctly.
Applications -What You Can Fry
The rectangular batch fryer machine handles: sev, boondi, bhujia, namkeen, fryums, papad, mathri, chakli, kurkure, corn snacks, poha chivda, mixed namkeen blends.
It suits factories frying three or four products on the same machine across the day. Morning shift sev, afternoon boondi, evening papad -the rectangular fryer handles all three. Each batch runs with its own fry time and temperature setting. The high oil volume means temperature recovers quickly between product changes, so quality does not drop when you switch.
Namkeen producers in Rajasthan and Punjab running six to eight product varieties in one day use the rectangular fryer because the flat oil chamber handles irregular shapes without corner piling. Corner piling is where pieces collect at the fryer edges and fry longer than the rest -that is where dark spots start. The flat rectangular base eliminates it.

Rectangular Batch Fryer Machine -Frequently Asked Questions
Questions we receive most often from buyers before ordering a rectangular batch fryer machine from SS Engineering Works.
What is a rectangular batch fryer machine?
A rectangular batch fryer machine is an industrial frying unit with a flat rectangular oil chamber. It fries snack products in fixed loads, one batch at a time. The rectangular body holds more oil than a circular fryer at the same capacity -that higher oil volume gives better temperature stability, which means consistent colour from piece one to the last. SS Engineering Works makes rectangular batch fryers in LPG, diesel, and wood pellet models from 50 to 500 kg/hr.
What is the difference between a rectangular fryer and a circular fryer?
The rectangular fryer suits flat and irregular snacks -namkeen, sev, boondi, bhujia, fryums, papad. Higher oil volume keeps temperature stable across back-to-back batches. The circular fryer suits round and ring-shaped snacks -corn rings, chakli, circular fryums -where the circular body allows natural rotation. Flat snacks use rectangular. Round snacks use circular.
What is the rectangular batch fryer machine price in India?
Rectangular batch fryer machine price depends on output capacity (50 to 500 kg/hr), fuel type (LPG, diesel, wood pellet, thermic fluid), and included accessories. Every machine is built to spec -we do not list prices online. Call +91 98184 89414 for a direct quote.
What products can be fried in a rectangular batch fryer?
Sev, boondi, bhujia, namkeen, fryums, papad, mathri, chakli, kurkure, corn snacks, poha chivda, mixed namkeen. The rectangular batch fryer is the right choice for factories frying three or four products on the same machine in one shift -each batch with its own temperature and fry time setting.
Why does oil volume matter in a rectangular fryer?
Higher oil volume means more thermal mass. More thermal mass means the oil temperature drops less when you load a cold batch. Less drop means consistent frying heat from the first piece to the last. Low oil volume fryers run temperature cycles -hot to cool and back -which causes colour variation across the batch. The rectangular chamber holds more oil than a circular body at the same capacity, which is why colour consistency is better on the rectangular fryer for flat and mixed-shape products.
Which rectangular fryer capacity should I choose?
Start at 50 or 100 kg/hr if this is your first frying line or you run one product per shift. Move to 250 kg/hr for multiple products across a full shift. The 500 kg/hr is for high daily volume operations. Call us with your daily output target and we will size it correctly.
Do you supply rectangular fryers outside Delhi NCR?
Yes. We have supplied rectangular batch fryer machines to manufacturers in Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, and across India. Installation and commissioning are included with every order regardless of location.
What warranty is included?
